Thread: Green River Crappie

I agree with you NetMan75. Even if it haven't fished green much in the last couple of years but the last 5 or 6 years the size of fish I have caught has been better every year. Good Job in the 2 tourneys this week....

Anyone else experiencing the same or it is just me? Hatch related? We must of caught over 200 crappie yesterday and the vast majority (70%) were 8-9 1/2”. Deep, shallow, different sections of the lake, etc it didn’t seem to matter.

Thoughts?

I was at the lake from Tuesday until Friday last week. I caught a limit each day. I had 3-14 in. Several 12-13 in. Out of the 80 I keep about 12-under 10 in. I did have to go through several 6-9 in. fish but that just tells me we have plenty of fish for the future. I was at Ky. Lake last week and had same results with a lot of short fish. I think I would be more concern if you weren’t catching short fish mixed in. I will say I talked to a few people that weren’t catching any keepers but I don’t know why.
